Abstract excerpt
We describe a scheme for isolation of new classes of mutants in the cell cycle of Escherichia coli. The mutants were selected as resistant to camphor vapors, which results in increased ploidy, and were subsequently screened for an increase in cell density and an increase in the gene dosage of the lac operon. Our mutations are located at four different places in the chromosome; we have named these loci mbr (moth...
